My thanksgiving break was good and relaxing. I did a lot of homework over the break and relaxed at home. It was nice to see family I don't see often for thanksgiving. It was fun catching up with family since the summer. There was so much yummy food and dessert to eat. My dad who is an amazing cook made the turkey. My grandma made her hoe made apple pie and it was so yummy. Every time she I eat it, it hits the spot lol. The crust and apples mixed with cinnamon are so tasteful. There was so much leftovers to take home and eat. We were all exhausted by the end of the day. My teacher parents and I spent the night at her house and I passed out as soon as my head hit the pillow. Overall it was a successful thanksgiving and am so glad I was able to spend time with my family. Next is Christmas and I am so excited, because we are hosting this year. Also my birthday is the 20th which is right before Christmas so I am excited about that.

As this semester is coming to an end; I have started to realize how close I am to becoming a teacher. It is scary to think I have only one more semester of school(student teaching) and then I graduate. I feel like I just moved in to Tower Hall as a freshman in college. I can't believe time went by so fast. I feel a sense of accomplishment when reflecting on how far I have come in college. It has been a stressful and fun time but am excited for the next chapter of my life as a new teacher. It is weird to think this time next year I will have finished my first semester as a new teacher. It is scary but exciting when thinking about my future students.

On Saturday my sister and I decided to have a girls day since we do not hang out as much even though we are roommates. School keeps everything busy so it is hard to hangout with her. We had a really great time shopping at the outlets and going out to dinner at Texas Roadhouse. We then came back to our house and had a movie night and dessert. It was a very relaxing day and I enjoyed being able to hang out with my sister. The day was filled with laughs, food and shopping!

My parents came up for the day on Saturday for family day for my sister's sorority, Sigma phi Lambda. I was in the sorority for two years but dropped out last fall due to school. I had a nice time seeing them, because I will not see them until I come home for Thanksgiving. My mom has never seen my new house since she was working on move in day. My dad was the only one who could help move me in. She loved my new place and how better it was than the apartment I lived in from last year. It was great catching up with them about my semester since I have not seen them this much this semester. To top it off to a great weekend; I took my ESL certification test last Thursday and it was hard. I got my scores today and relieved to say I passed. I was quite shocked to be honest. All I have left is my ppr test next Thursday. Hopefully I pass that one as well.

I went home for part of the weekend due to a family wedding. It was so nice to be able to spend time with my family and celebrate a new marriage. I was also thrilled to see my dog lilly. She is literally like my baby. I mean she is a shorkie (a shihtzu/yorkie mix) so she is a cute fluffy dog. Right when I get home she automatically grabs her little stuffed animal pig with her mouth and goes straight to my room so I can put her up on my bed. I am the only person in the family who lets her on my bed so she loves it. Anyways, it was fun, but the wedding was outside so it was really hot. I was dying hot waiting for the ceremony to start. Her dress was so gorgeous when she walked down the aisle. It was a ball gown style but not to puffy to dance and walk in. Ironically the day of the wedding was my parents 28th wedding anniversary. Its amazing to think my parents have been together that long. They are each other's best friend. Overall, it was a great weekend seeing my family and grandp

I saw the movie "Happy Death Day" Sunday night with my friend Laura and my sister Kelsey. It was such a good movie. A part of the plot towards the end was a little confusing, but once I remembered the details throughout the movie it made sense. There were parts of the movie where I literally jumped out of my seat due to the suspense. The movie was very suspenseful which kept me at the edge of my seat the entire time. There were twists and turns throughout the movie which I did not see coming. After the movie I was exhausted due to the suspense and thrill. I felt like I got hit by a car. Usually when I watch thriller/ suspenseful or intense movies I am always exhausted after because my body tenses up during the movie.

This weekend I went to the San Marcos library to get a library card. I checked out two thriller books and am excited to read them. I have not read a book probably in almost two years. The literate life assignment reminded me of my love for writing. In all honesty, Netflix and Hulu have taken over my free time instead of reading. As i was doing the assignment, it made me reflect on all the books I read growing up and wonderful memories I had reading. In my opinion, its hard to find books as an adult, because growing up it was so easy to find books. Since now I am an adult I usually only read thriller and mystery novels. I love this genre, because the story keeps me guessing.
